Burr Ridge & Lemont Hillapalooza / ~75 mi @ 17-19+ mph / Ron Richards
About this event
This ride is specifically tailored to those doing the Horrible Hilly Hundreds on June 17. It includes as much hilliness as one can obtain on a ride that originates from Elmhurst with 2,550 feet of elevation. It won't match Wisconsin's driftless region but will include the following: Burr Ridge roller including 91st street between Wolf Road and Madison, Bluff Road (both east and west of Argonne), and Timberline in Lemont two times.
For those doing HHH, this will be as good a training as you can get in the west & southwest suburbs. For others, it will be a challenging fast ride with some hills. Lots of sprint sections including some non-hilly frontage roads. If your notion of "riding at the speed of fun" includes lots of challenges, come on out!
The route will include 2 rest stops: Mile 25 at the Starbucks in Burr Ridge and Mile 47 at the Peet's Market in Lemont. The Pete's Market will have deli purchases available with seating outside to eat lunch.
